Canyon Springs Intro To Beacon Reflection by Heather Harlen https://padlet.com/building21/yeiltdagia70fa4w Please answer the questions below to reflect on our time together today and to give the B21 team feedback. en-us 2025-03-27 16:23:35 UTC 2025-04-02 21:02:30 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/8.0/png/1f4a1.png Thoughts and Suggestions https://padlet.com/building21/yeiltdagia70fa4w/wish/3393287709

  • Can we make links on task cards display in different color so they stand out better?

  • Can we make the ratings order go from left to right like Slate (2 4 6 8...)

  • Must tasks display in alphabetical order? Is the only way to determine the order by numbering tasks?

  • *Learner side: Does the Take A Photo button only work with mobile devices? It didn't open camera on laptop, it opened upload menu--but then it did not actually upload picture file.

  • Task Cards do not seem to display who the author/creator is; is that potentially problematic? or unnecessary?
